Work Wear; Black as My Coffee

Black coffee - it's either you like it or hate it.


In these past few weeks, I have been sticking to my black coffee (oh, with a dash of Splenda) because I think, I am starting to resign onto the sweetness of coffee. Not to mention its unwanted calories, I always feel like craving for more food when I sip a cup of sweetened coffee. It is a double jeopardy.

On another note, my coffee is my starting engine for the day. It puts me to a ready state of what I need to accomplish. There is something in coffee that fills in my soul which brings me to the positive side of life.

And today, as I pressed our office's coffee machine, I randomly noticed that my outfit is likened to a black coffee as well. No frills, no other ingredients, just plain black ensemble.

 
 
It feels good. I feel I added a few metrics of maturity.

But ensemble is quite tricky. It could pass as I am dressing for the night (the versatility of LDBs!) so I opted to bring with me my old blazer. Yes, it protects me from the cold brought about by the insane office aircon, too! Blazers are instant transformers of a casual look to a more corporate worthy attire. I believe they are good investments in one's closet.


P.S. This is just me feeling a bit b*tchy by flipping my hair and taking a random shot at the elevator. Hah!

How do you survive?

Image
I bet people asking me about my life now have one question on their mind which they're itching to ask me (but maybe finds it awkward to ask): how do you survive? So let's get to the real deal of this. To survive, there are two factors to consider - the income and the expenses. For this piece, I will share my "hacks" on how I manage to keep my expenses at bay. Cutting my expenses to more than half does not mean I cut the quality of my life - I still eat great food, you know, Lol. 1. Food  A fool proof hack on food is to make your own.  A sumptuous dish? I cook. A hot and aromatic coffee? I brew. A mouth watering dessert? I bake or prepare. They aren't the perfect or the tastiest version in the world, but Levy and I love most of our home cooked meals. And that's more than enough! Cooking our own food slashes a big chunk of our expenses and boy I am loving every minute I spend in our kitchen! Of course, I don't deprive myself with experience

Work Wear: Flip Top

Image
I am in my shopping ban and is surviving for a month and a week now. Will I take this as a sign of maturity? If it is, then let's toast to that! Well I guess, I do embrace the circle of maturity that's taking over my entire system. I mean, the way I see things now is quite more discerning than how I used to ten years ago. Back then, I severely abhor people whom I think are not, in other way, adhere to what I perceive as the epitome of a correct human behavior. Case in point: I hate social climbers. I hate people that are too negative. I hate people who sees themselves as above the others. And my "hate" list goes on and on. But little by little, I let go of the disgust that I feel for these kind of unlikable people and slowly widened my horizon in the field of understanding. I embraces the concept of: to each is his own. I realized that the diversity of the people, just like the animals and the plants, is what makes this life pretty more interesting. It is the art

Travel Glimpse: Tinago Falls, Biliran Island

Image
Perhaps, one of the differences between a tourist and a traveler/adventure seeker is that the latter goes out of the comfort zone to experience nature's beauty at its finest. The long roads are not obstacles in reaching those intriguing places that one could see for himself. Biliran island. Not a familiar sound when you ask people of where to go for an escapade. It's not Davao, nor Boracay, nor Cebu. This island boasts a total of 30 falls, a number of smaller islands, and hotsprings. One of the stops that we've had was the Tinago falls. From the name itself, this gem is a hidden treasure which needs to be unmasked by going through a 45-minute multicab ride from the main island (Naval).   The good thing about the falls is that there isn't a need to trek further to reach it and the local government has acknowledged it to be a tourist spot, hence the good road! Do you know that feeling when you're going to the "bukid"? The clean air, the lush gr
